The method used above with the picture was originaly invented for use when all you had available was cigarette papers. Lot of people were poor and rolled their own back then. Sears and Roebuck in the outhouse. Paper as we know it now wasn't in demand until indoor plumbing and septic systems came to be. Had better places for money than to wipe the butt with fancy paper.

Couldn’t wait for the new Sears Roebuck and Montgomery Ward catalogs to be published each year. We could then use the old ones out in the “two holer”. Usually tried to get away with using half a page at a sitting, when the catalogs were gone- it was back to newspapers. Yes, Mom often complained about “skid marks”.
